It is simple to make a symbolic link in /bin as well.  However,
we could test for both.

As you wish.

I think Andreas and Mike are looking at this as well.  We depend
to a great amount on the redhat/cygwin developers for updates to 
the cygipc code.   It has always been a separate library from
the main Cygwin distribution.   The  http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/cygipc/index.html
does not come from the redhat distribution areas nor from the 
ftp mirror sites (contrib, latest and xfree).  I do not know the 
future of it.

There is Lesstif.  The routines in libGLmW have been included in the
three other GL libes.  I'll tackle this compile for us.  Where is it?
What directory?

OK

Andreas?  Mike? any comments?
